Question:
In meditation I find that if I resist emotions, it creates more resistance. How to deal with emotions?
Babaji:
Often If you see, if the emotions are troubling you in such a way, that could be mostly of a past experience. At that time you can try to think, past is over – it is not going to come back under any circumstances. No such technology that 1974 will come back – the earth is spinning forward. So you think, past is meant so that if you had done a mistake or some mistake happened, you don’t repeat that. You have a beautiful future for you. You have to visualize a positive future, think like this in a mature way and thus you can overcome the emotions. Because if you allow your mind to get involved into emotions, your mind will become a casualty first. Before you try to take a revenge or try to think badly of someone, anything can happen- it is just a visualization.
So this is what is advised and you practise watching those emotions also, then after some time you will be able to overcome. It is very important to overcome all emotions, because emotions can be your weakness, it can become your strength. If you convert the same emotions into a love, all humanity, all creatures – ‘May all the beings in all the worlds be happy’.
